It seems pretty stupid for the cartel bosses to kill the goose looking for golden eggs inside.

They’ve got a good thing going.

Why would they want to or need to up the ante, while bringing down a ton of bad publicity and pay back?

It would be a bigger self-inflicted wound than the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor and expecting the USA to go crawl in a hole and surrender.

And before anyone says we’re not the same country anymore, on THIS issue, I’d disagree. We’d be furious, and payback would be relatively easy.

No, this is to preserve the good thing they have going.
As they explain in the video, the point of this is to send a warning to illegals that they better not try to enter the U.S. without paying the cartels when Title 42 expires.

To use an outlaw term, the cartel bosses answer up. Just like they all do.

They’re all working for the same organization. The only difference is what uniform they wear. Some are recognizable by their tattoos.

Others by what seat they stole in the US Congress or on the county commission. Or what corporation they’re vice president of.

You’re absolutely right but what would you do if the US military droned a few of your fellow Cartel members or some part of US special forces dropped into Mexico and wiped out a few of your labs and other cartel bosses.

Under the current conditions, there is no reason for the Cartels to up the ante, if they start getting destroyed by the US military, then all bets are off.

If you watch the video one of the main targets are “migrants”.

So they take someone’s relative, threaten to kill said relative unless a family member commits an act of terror (kind of like ISIS terrorists, make someone else martyr themselves).

So they target “migrant” centers and similar places to remind the “migrants” they owe money to the cartels.

For Chinese it’s $50,000.

So let’s do the math. We know at a minimum 400,000 Chinese nationals have entered illegally through Mexico into the United States since Brandon was coronated.

Now each of them owes cartels who control the border $50,000.

That makes $20 billion. And that’s just Chinese.

So if they don’t pay up...

Consider the source. Just another wasted of bandwidth.
